Likewise, clas rank (if your school does it, or otherwise a general knowledge of GPA distribution at your school by the colleges) will also make a differance: a 3.8 reads very differently to adcoms if it puts you in the top 5% of your class vs. the top 20%.
An employee's gross pay is the amount of his wages before any deductions, including taxes and benefits. Gross pay may be determined by the amount an employee works, as in hourly pay, or at a set rate, as in a weekly salary.
If calculating net pay from gross pay, then gross pay is a given variable. If gross pay is not given, simply multiply the hourly wage by the number of hours worked. For example, a person works for $16 an hour and works 40 hours during the week. The person's gross pay equals $640. Find any deductions in the paycheck.
